- Troubleshooting
No. Symptom Inspection/Remedy 1 Rattling Noise - Before replacing the speaker, make sure the mounting screw is installed properly.
- After reinstalling the speaker, make sure there is no rattling noise.
- If the rattling noise occurs again, replace the speaker with a new one.
2 Noise - Check whether the wiring connector is connected properly. If not, connect the wiring connector.
- In case of radio interference, check for noise from the CD player.
- If noise is heard when the radio and CD are turned on, replace the speaker with a new one.
If only radio interference occurs, it is caused by poor radio reception. Therefore, the speaker does not need to be repaired or replaced.
3 Poor Performance Check the wiring connection between the battery and the speaker - Before replacing the speaker, check the wiring and connections in the speaker circuit.
- Check the power supply to the speaker and the resistance, then check the sound quality.
- If the speaker performs poorly, replace it with a new one.
When handling the speaker:
- Dropping or rough handling of the speaker may damage it.
- Be careful not to spill water or oil on the speaker.
- Be careful when handling the speaker, as the diaphragm is made of paper and can be easily torn by impact or external force.
- Improper handling of electrical speakers is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
